Vampire Hunter E: Blood Pageant

[00] -Blood Pageant Preview!-

I began this sequel to the unfinished story from last year, "Vampire HUnter E (and his lovely brunette maid) on June 30, 2000.  It's been proceeding very well.  This one's gonna be big, as well as be the first ever full blown complete fan fic of mine to hit the WorldWide.  However...due to its content, this uncensored story might have to premiere elsewhere, such as The CastleVania Dungeon.

[01] -CAST-

Eric Roman
No Belmont, but a mere 19 year old from New York city.  He manages a site called CastleVania III Dracula's Curse THE PAGE!!! and works at the Darnell Library Consortium on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.  He hooks up with a young woman named Rose and they become good friends...and then more.  Oh, and he's me, too.

Rose V Albertine, by Karina Ramos (meowfang@aol.com)Rose V Albertine
A young lady who recently became 21, grew up in an orphanage in Europe, France more specifically, and came to the USA in 1997 to make any kind of living for herself.  She lives in an apartment across the street from the Museum of Natural History in Manhattan's Upper West Side.  She sees Eric as her own family after their first encounter in Vampire Hunter E I.  She works as a maid in the Plaza Hotel on 59th Street and Fifth Avenue and is seen in public walking casually with her French style uniform on.  How she survives is beyond me, but I'll say this.  There are three answers.  Sadly for me, Rose doesn't exist in real life.  Oh, and her middle name shall remain a secret...at least, until chapter 25...






[02] -ARSENAL-

Death Whip-  Here's an original CastleVania item with a cheesy name.  The Death Whip, or referred to in the story as the "Rail Whip", is a lengthy, flexible, three-part metal whip with a short, straight, as opposed to curved, sickle on the end where you'd normally find your morning star.  Eric's primary weapon is great for "mowing down" adversity, as you'll see when the rail whip shows up for the first time.
Black Hand-  Returning from Vampire Hunter E I is Eric's left hand weapon, the Black Hand.  When he wears it, this weird glove stretches and grows lengthy fingers and claws.  This glove can manipulate its shape without injury to Eric's original hand.  Eric can slash through enemies or scale buildings with this item.    
Triblade Dagger-  The three answers lie in Rose's primary weapon, a wicked, triple bladed dagger, which she likes to keep attached to her right garter belt.  They never see it coming.

[03]  -OPPOSITION-

Blood Pageant features what most fan fics don't: a wide variety of CastleVania enemies!  Check out:
The Slime
White Skeleton
Blue Venus Weed
Puweyxil
Water Magician
Gaibon
...and lots more!
Including some enemies created EXCLUSIVELY for the story:
Giant, Seemingly Indestructible Iron Doll-  Remember the Iron Doll from CastleVania II BELMONT'S REVENGE?  It's back, it's 40 feet tall, and most of all, IT CAN'T BE STOPPED!
Cardinal O Connor-  An evil spirit assumes the shape of the late Cardinal of Saint Patrick's Cathedral, John O Connor.
Henry Clay Frick-  The ghost of an old coke-and-steel tycoon whose awesome mansion was converted into an art museum you can pay $7 to enter, $5 if you're a student!
Sludgra-  It's an existing rumor that a duplicate of the Iguanodon statue from London's Crystal Palace lies beneath the soils of New York's Central Park.  A slimy, rotting Slogra clone with the oversized head of a mutated Rhamphoryncus awakens for a fight of endurace. It carries a dual-bladed spear much more powerful than Slogra's Enchanted Trident.

[04] -WORLD TOUR-

The stage is set in Manhattan, New York.  You've gotta love the city!  The story unfolds in kickin' locations such as Fifth Avenue, the always excellent Rockefeller Center, and more!

[05] -I REMEMBER THAT FROM...-

Just like Konami itself, you know how I love to stick references in where I can.  They're too numerous to list, and cover everything from Macross, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time, and Kurt's 1998 fan fic descriptions, to CastleVania III, Eminem and Steam Detectives track titles.

[06] -SECTIONALISM-

The many chapters of Vampire Hunter E II range in size from miniscule to very long, and don't include the [XX] TRACK LIST, -SIDE 1-, nor -SIDE 2- notations.

WARNING:
THE FOLLOWING STORY CONTAINS EVERYTHING YOU'RE NOT USED TO SEEING FROM THE SEEMINGLY DOCILE CREATOR OF THE "CastleVania III Dracula's Curse THE PAGE!!!" PAGE. IT CONTAINS HARSH LANGUAGE, EXPLICIT LYRICS, NUDITY, VIOLENCE, BLOOD, AND SEXUAL CONTENT UP THE WAZOO. If this story damages your personality and/or life in any way, just remember that I wasn't the one who told you to keep reading it, dig?

ATTENTION:
Though this story was written and is owned by Eric Roman, CastleVania and Vampire Killer are registered trademarks of the Konami company. If any other company's elements appear, those unrequested guests are held by their makers, too.
The title spoofs the anime "Vampire Hunter D". E stands for 'Eric'.
The chapter titles have little to do with what actually goes on within. Pretty cool, huh?

NOW THAT THAT'S SETTLED:
This is just about the...umpteenth attempt at completing a full-fledged story, and the first time a REAL fanfiction of mine has been published. Its incomplete predecessor (hefty, sketchy portions of which are featured in TRACK 27), "Vampire Hunter E (and his lovely brunette maid)", a narration from the first person perspective, goes something like this:
Author goes out looking like 'Vampire Hunter E' (Richter Belmont basically)for Halloween.
Author makes like Chris Rasa and playfully asks for Dracula's body parts.
Author seriously acquires one.
Author encounters things you don't normally see outside.
Author beats some of the things you don't normally see outside.
Author meets 20 year old woman dressed as French maid at 72nd Street and Broadway in Manhattan.
Author and young woman fight assorted CastleVania enemies.
Author and young woman fight Skull Knight...
...who teams with Slogra.
Author and young woman are ambushed.
Author and young woman are forcibly separated.
Author and young woman reunite.
Author and young woman kick prodigious [CUT!]
Author and young woman bid a hesitant good eve.
Author and young woman find each other again in the epilogue.
The End.

"Buckle your safety belt."
"Hold on to your butts."
"Time to get busy in this [CUT!]...like we always do about this time!"

The Incredible Crash Dummies, Jurassic Park staffer Robert Genarro, and Death Row have gotten you ready for this one. Now it's my turn. SHUT UP AND READ! THIS IS THE COOLEST CASTLEVANIA-ISH FANFIC EVER!

That's it! Can't wait, huh? Back to DCTP Written.
